The roads of the future could be sources of photovoltaic energy

An international team of researchers presented a solution for the future of solar photovoltaics and road infrastructure with multiple benefits and challenges.

A study published this month in the journal Earth’s Future presents a futuristic vision for transforming highways and major roads into sources of photovoltaic energy.

The proposal includes a network of elevated photovoltaic solar panels that would not only generate clean electricity, but adding an unexpected advantage to the project’s attractions, would also offer shelter to motorists during adverse weather conditions.
